Richie, I think the default is useful, since it loads code out of rails plugins; which is nice... as for the location of the deploy.rb, well we put that in config since it fits with where rails expects confguration (and how to deploy is arguably part of the config)
Personally I think your idea is OK, but I can't see us making it the default, maybe making it optional though, I have some ideas in mind to add arguments to capify to specify paths/etc. -- Lee Hambley Twitter: @leehambley Blog: http://lee.hambley.name/ Working with Rails: http://is.gd/1s5W1 2009/8/27 Richie Vos <[email protected]> > > I've been doing a lot of config-management/capistrano work recently, > and have found it incredibly useful to keep all my capistrano files > together.
